upon the inner frame 1. As shown in Fi straps may be engaged by the turn buckle 2, there being nuts on the turnbuckle which engage the inner face of the frame 1, and there being nuts 51 on the outer ends of theturnbuokles -which, coacting with the ends of the straps, serve to hold the said strap against the outer face of the frame 1.

The support further includes a resilient, U-shaped outer frame 7 which is superposed The inner face of the auxiliary frame 7 is beveled as indicated at 8 toreceive a ventilating; seat 9 which extends across the edge of the outer frame I. The seat or fil.ler 9 niiay be fashioned from wire nettine', although any other material may be employed if deemed expedien As shown at 10, the periphery of the seat 9 is bound between the frames 1 and Z. F

Securing devices 10 connect the frames 1 and 7, these securing devices preferably being in the form of bolts carrying nuts 12 located in the openings 4. of the which are The device as above deinner frame 1,

scribed is adapted to be applied to the seat of a chair, although, should occasion de mand the structure may be applied to the s a cushion from being pressed upwardly or outwardly, within the contour of the frames 1 and 7. Thus, the air space existing within the frames 1 and 7 is not encumbered, and air is permitted. to pass through the openings 4 in the inner frame 1, the open ventilatinc' seat 9 serving to permit the body of theloccupant to remain cool. Although the element 9 has been described as a seat, it will be obvious that the same may constitute back, if the structure shown in Figs. 1 to e inclusive is placed upnight in a chair.' In case the chair to which the device is applied is not provided with a cushion, then it may be desirable to dispense with the straps 5.

Having thus described the invention, what spaced legs defining openings therebetween; Straps disposed transversely of the inner frame and extended across the lower edges of the legs, upwardly along the outer faces of the legs and having their ends disposed on top of the inner frame; a turnbuckle extended through the free ends of the arms pairs of nuts on the turnbuckle, one pair of nuts bearing against the inner faces of the arms, the other pair of nuts bearing against one of the straps to hold the same a ainst the corresponding legs; a resilient U-s edge of the outer frame, the seat being prolonged downwardly on the exterior of the outer frame and having its periphery extended between the frames on top of the aped outer frame superposed on the inner frame; a foraminous seat extended across the upper frames may be exthe inner frame between the legs thereof.
